have united with the sacred writers to
make us believe that there is coming
confagration, to sweep across the earth,
compared with which that of Chicago in
1871 and that of Boston in 1879, and
that of New York in 1885, were mere
nothing Brooklyn on fire! New
York on fire! Charleston on fire! San
Francisco on fire! Canton on fire! st.
Petersburg on fire! Paris on fire! Lon
don on fire the Andes on fire! the APP
pennies on fire the Himalaya on fire /!
What will be peculiar about the day will
be that the water with which we put out
great fires will itself take flame; and the
Mississippi, and the Ohio, and the st.
Lawrence, and Lake Erie, and the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans, and tumbling
Niagara, shall with red tongues lick the
heavens. The geological heats of the
centre of the world will burn out toward
the circumference, and the heats OF the
outside will burn down from the circum-
ference to the CENTRE and this world will
become not only according to the Bible,
but according to science, a living coal
the living coal afterward whitening into
ashes, the ashes scattered by the breath
of the last hurricane, and all that
will be left of this glorious planet Will
be the flakes of ashes fallen on other
worlds. O! on that day will you be tlre,
proof, or will you be total loss? VIII
you be rescued, or will you be consumed?
When this great cathedral of the world,
with its pillars of rocks and its pin.
nacles of mountains, and its cellar OF
golden mine and its upholstery of morn
ing cloud, and it's baptismal font OF the
sea, shall blaze, will you get out on
the tire-escape of the Lords deliverance!
o! on that day for which all other days
were made, may it be found that these
life insurance men had paidup policy,
and these fire insurance men had given
them instead of the debris Of con-
sumed worldly estate house not made
with hauds-eternal in the heavens!

CHE GIVETH HIS BELOVED Sleep
MRS. D. T. SMITH.

When the feet are worn and weary,
When the eyes grow dim with tears;
When the days are lone and dreary
With the monotone of years,
And the fainting footsteps falter
In the marshes dank and deep,
With the griefs no time can alter,
Will He give His loved ones sleep?
When all happiness has banished
And the heart is worn and old;
Feeding on the husks is famished
With hungering untold,
And the way is dark and lonely
Up the rugged mountain steep,
Faith asks the assurance only
That He give His loved ones sleep.
Will he lead them by still waters
In the pastures warm and bright;
Earth's poor heart-sick sons and daughters
Out of darkness into light?
OH! l long to know the secrets
The eternal silence keep
Will we lose our burdens some day, s.
Will He give His children sleep?
Will there come day ofresting
When the pain and toll are done,
Done the penance and the fasting,
And the final sands are run?
Will the heart forget its sorrows
And the eyes forget to weep
There shall be no weary morrows
If He gives His loved ones sleep,
St. Landry democrat., 1887-08-13
CANADIAN TROUBLE.
Whv There is a Row Between the Prov
inces IF the Dominion.

why There is a Row Between the PROV
inces IF the Dominion.
The physical conditions of the various
provinces composing the Dominion OF
Canada are such as to oppose the growth
ofnational unity among them. The nat
ural relations of the eastern provinces are
with New England, of the western
provinces with our Northwestern States
and of British Columbia with our Pacific
slope. Their connections of this sort
are of more Importance to them than
their relations to one another. The
Canadian Pacific railroad was con-
structed as bond of union, but has not
had that effect; and just now it is the
occasion of tremendous row between
the Province of Manitoba and the Do
minion government.
Although the Canadian Pacific rail-
road affords an outlet east and west, yet
Manitoba farmers complain that the
rates are such as to make it impossible
for them to get their grain to foreign
markets. Their nearest and best market
is the United States. The provincial
legislature, therefore, authorized the
construction of railway running from
Winnipeg, by way of the Red River
valley, to the Northern Pacific railroad.
To this the Dominion government is
opposed on the ground that the Cana
dian Pacific is national line, to be sup
ported in the interests of the Dominion,
and that anything that tends to divert
traffic from it and help rival foreign
corporation should be discouraged.
Under the Canadian constitution the
governor general has right to
veto or ''disallow" the provincial
charter, and this authority it has
been decided to exercise. The Manito-
bans, however, seem determined to
defy the Dominion government. The
contract for the construction has
actually been signed, and the work is
to begin forthwith. The Canadian
ministerial journals hint that force will
be used to prevent the works being car
ried out The Manitobans reply in an
equally bellicose strain and the Hon.
John Norquay, their premier, has
said, in almost as many words, that they
are prepared to fight for their railway.
Just how the matter will turn out re-
mains to be seen. 1t certainly shows how
